The YA conference 08 on community service aka service-learning.
Being a facilitator there is definitely fun, getting to meet all sort of different people and doing silly things together( this is beginning to look like a trend in my life).
Meet Rebecca at Redhill MRT(which is,btw,pink) then we bus-ed to Henderson Sec, both of us never been to that area before so we followed the Henderson sec people. By the time we arrived, there was a lot of YAs there already. Then Ms Ng and the Henderson guides came. I was damn shock cos the moment they saw us they were like “Good morning Ms Ng and YAs” and they were in full u in boots and their attire was all right(socks up and everything else), you definitely don’t get that in MF so we need to whip them into “shape”.
We got our roles in the CSI game after that. I was Charles, the bride’s and groom’s mutual friend. Rebecca was the bride’s sister,Siew Ying was the mother-in-law, Amanda was the groom(Richard) and the rest can’t remember.hehe. At the Auditorium, we got the namelist for our groups and the logistics needed for the CSI game and off we went to look for our location to have our stations.Henderson is really like campus 1, quite an old school but with a charm and they like worship UG there(I am envious,okay) and from what I heard, they are also damn rich. Anyway, found mine on the 1st floor, near Jia En and Adeline(Chan).
The game was damn vicious, because the participants had to find out the cause of the bride’s death and they asked like a trillion questions, a better part of the 10 mins was used for asking questions, I think they put detectives to shame.LOL.but of course, in different stations, they had different answers thus confusing them even further.But their prime suspects were Richard and the mother-in-law so imagine their reaction when the cause of the death was the bride’s severe allergy to strawberries.HAHA.when the games finished,we(the facilitators) exchanged “notes” and end up laughing like mad.
After lunch, we had “job hunt”. My poor group, we couldn’t even find a job(same answer, look for manager then they say either if it was mon-fri it would be okay or they need to look for HQ) at no less, 2 shopping malls and IKEA till the last 30mins at the nearby hairdresser wipping windows and sorting out some plastic-y things all thanks to Jia Yi who somehow managed to convinced the boss. We all almost kowtow to the boss man, we were that grateful, getting the job =).Then it was debrief and time to head home.
Will post pictures after I get them from Shuhui or the webby ;)And will change my skin soon.
